The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
--Theodore Roethke

Nominations
The Oscar nominations were announced today, so there are more movies I want to see before the awards show. Some I have been waiting for anyway like Chicago, Far From Heaven, Frida, The Pianist, The Quiet American, Unforgiven, Gangs of New York, and About Schmidt. I've seen The Hours, Adaptation, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I'll be busy! I really do like Kathy Bates as an actress and am glad she was nominated. I don't know enough about the performances and movies to have opinions yet. I've already written about The Hours and Adaptation and will let you know what I think about any more I see. What about you? What have you seen that you really like? I'm so glad the Roxy is opening here Friday and hope they have matinees and show a variety of movies.
